		Titan II flight N-11, the eighth in a series being conducted by the Air Force to develop the weapon system, was launched from Cape Canaveral.
		Titan II flight N-20, the 19th in the series of Air Force research and development flights, was launched from Cape Canaveral.
		Thirty-two Titan II test flights were analyzed to determine whether any characteristic of the flight would have demanded a Gemini abort; 22 were adjudged successful from the standpoint of a Gemini mission, nine would have required Gemini to abort, and one resulted in a prelaunch shutdown.

	Titan II Missile Complex
		Each Titan II silo was directly connected to an underground launch control capsule manned by a missile combat crew of two officers and two airman.
		The Titan II silos were markedly different from the Titan I launch complexes.
		Instead the Titan IIs were based separately, and each silo was at least 7 miles from its closest neighbor.

	On The Shoulders of Titans - Ch7-2
		Flight tests of the Titan II missile, suspended in June after two successive failures, had yet to produce results good enough to convince anyone that a booster derived from this missile was a safe bet for Gemini.
		Although Titan II itself was still a question mark, the managerial logjam that had so far prevented a concerted attack on its shortcomings as a manned booster now appeared to be breaking up.
		Titan II was still in trouble, and the weekly status reports that Seamans was getting from the Air Force Systems Command after mid-September reflected a promising beginning but little more.

	Triumphant Titan II \| TIME
		Titan II is far more than just an improved model of the much criticized Titan I. During the development of Titan I, Aerojet-General, which built Titan II's engines; stored up dozens of new ideas for an advanced missile; instead of dribbling them into the Titan I, it saved them for a brand-new missile.
		What makes Titan II unique is a storable fuel that requires no lox (liquid oxygen) and enables the missile to be ready to fire at a moment's notice.
		Besides being storable, Titan II's fuels are "hypergolic." This fancy word, too newly coined to be included in most dictionaries, means that the two liquids start burning furiously as soon as they come in contact.

		With its progressive wishbone shape, the Titan Series II tower provides rock-solid resistance against the rider's pull for a mean pop off the wake.
		Titan uses a "boat-friendly" non-rigid mounting system; the baseplates are attached via heim joints - minimizing both lateral torque forces and the chance of stress cracking.
		Also, Titan was great to work with compared to the last tower I had ordered.
